Part 2: Determining Effective SEO Keywords
Determining the primary keywords for each piece of content is extremely important when optimizing SEO. First, you need to find the most important main keywords, then use analytic tools to uncover better related keywords. Next, insert those keywords into appropriate locations within the content to support SEO optimization as well as improve rankings.
2.1. Research the market and target audience
Start by researching the market and thoroughly understanding your target customer base. This includes finding out details like:
- Customer preferences: Do they like roses, orchids, or other types of flowers?
- Occasions for buying flowers: Holidays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or wedding events may impact how they search.
- Geographic location: What regional customers frequently buy flowers? Is targeting local keywords like “fresh flowers Hanoi” necessary?
2.2. Use keyword research tools
There are many online tools that can help you search and analyze keywords, such as Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, or SEMrush. Use these tools to identify keywords likely to drive good website traffic. For example:
- Broad keywords: “birthday flowers”, “fresh flower shop”
- Longer, more specific keywords: “cheap Valentine roses”, “order flowers online quickly”
2.3. Categorize and prioritize keywords
Categorize keywords by relevance, competition, and conversion potential.
- - Relevance: Does the keyword truly reflect your products/services?
- - Competition: General keywords like “fresh flowers” may have high competition, while “imported roses” may have less.
- - Conversion potential: Keywords like “order red roses online” may bring higher conversion rates.
Prioritize keywords with low competition but high conversion potential.
